SINGAPORE & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)—“We designed a familiar environment where people can get together around a dinner table. It’s as close as you can get to a family dinner.” - says Meri Rosich, Quality Time Lab’s Founder.

Family Time features six different areas of activity. The dinner table, a book case, board games – including tic-tac-toe and chess – a drawing pad, and videos to sing-along together. It also features long-distance educational tools such as learning about time zones and geography.

“While video calling, my nephews always ask where I am in the map, and what time is it for me. Now I can teach them about the world” – Laia Rosich, Psychologist and Founder.

Family Time also includes pre-populated books geared towards younger readers such as The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. Grandparents can read the books during video calls, zoom-in the text, and even take snapshots to keep their magical moments as a family.

All elements are designed to engage, educate and inspire children and their family members to spend more time together, both when they are at home together and when they are away.

According to a study published in the Journal of Developmental Paediatrics, children who regularly sing, play, story-tell and enjoy dinner with their families have higher social-emotional health. “We encourage families to sing, read, play and eat together on a regular basis.”

Family Time is available on the Play Store http://tiny.cc/dinnertimeapp, with a launch price of $0.99 and Free on an ad-supported version.
